A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for amojito12. Starters: Dürnagel - Amitai, Robinson, Sovetov - Cruset, Paredes, Hsoumi, Krcha, Le Goff - Anderander, Tobias.

The wings were the focus of most of tazom's attacks today. The crowd gasped as Y. Amitai of amojito12 was flattened by an opponent after 8 minutes and had to be carried off. L. Plaizier came in off the bench. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, K. Dürnagel took over the role of being the amojito12 captain. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave B. Saliot from tazom a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 27 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! After a fine move down the middle B. Saliot nearly gave the home side a goal after 31 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. C. Risser of tazom was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. With 37 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as C. Hinge flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. A cross coming in on the right hand side left F. Anderander alone in front of the goal after 41 minutes but his shot was woeful. Halftime score was 1 - 0. tazom enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 54 percent of possession.

Content with how the game was proceeding, the tazom coach let M. Bertaud replace D. Rueda Ochoa after 55 minutes. The visitors' G. Cruset came close to levelling the score after 66 minutes with a free kick that went just wide of the top left corner. J. Carballo left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 70 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. M. Calvagna was the replacement. tazom's C. Hinge had an excellent opportunity after 70 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! amojito12's right side looked dangerous 73 minutes in, but J. Ruiz Mora made a good save on F. Hsoumi's hard shot to the top corner. C. Hinge received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 75 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. tazom's I. Enríquez de Anaya increased the lead to 2 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 76 minutes. C. Hinge showed his inexperience when he failed to anticipate the bounce of a high ball, allowing amojito12's F. Anderander to take advantage and place a shot into the bottom corner of the goal. 2 - 1. amojito12 were close to putting the equaliser away after 79 minutes as the opposing defence lost control of the ball to G. Cruset in a scuffle towards the left of the goal, but in the end the ball was cleared over the dead ball line. tazom claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

tazom's best player was V. Vitányi. On the other hand, M. Calvagna's play was disheartening. F. Anderander performed admirably for amojito12. K. Dürnagel on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 1.
